What type of writing? I write a lot of juvenile, tweener…"

I'm a newly single mom with two awesome sons, ages 18 and 4. I work full-time. I'm shopping for colleges and preschools at the same time. Fun, fun. I'm finally a published author. My debut novel, Secrets and Lies will be released on Nov 24th. I can hardly wait. I pray this is a lesson in purpose for my sons. That's what me "doing me" is all about!

What is your blogging philosophy?

Hmmm...I blog about books, African-American Christian fiction to be exact. I occassionally write an article - my publishing journey, or musing about the literary arena or publishing. So, when I blog I do so from my voice. No restrictions, just being me, saying what I want.

Hi Rhonda! You are awesome and beautiful lady! I am looking forward to the connection!

I am a stay at home wife and mom who works at home. I have two kiddos, "Sean Sean" (boy 4 years) and Sherry (girl 2 years). I am truly blessed that I am able to stay home and take care of my family and my hubby is a great man of God! I love homemaking, encouraging women to find their God given gifts and talents and pursue them, encouraging women to have multiple streams of income flowing through their home, maximizing energy and health so that you can handle kingdom business, hospitality, spending time with family and friends, and "talking about it all"!! LOL....

Please help me out and I will do the same for you! After all we all here to help and support one another :o) Starting in July I have my blog launching called VMOMS which stands for Virtuous Moms of Multiple Streams! I am filled with excitement as this is one of my many passions. So if you would take a moment to do the following:

Hi there from The Girlz Korner in upstate New York where you'll find light, witty and rather entertaining articles on every topic imaginable from The Little Black Dress to Making Whoopie. So if you get a chance to kick back and exhale, if only for a brief moment ... come on over and see me some time. Congrats on your novel as well. I, too, am a published author but love my blog as well.

I'm about halfway through a manuscript which will be a companion for the website and blog. I've had the good fortune to come across a children's book editor whom I hope will be a great source of information. I'm trading editing help for sewing. Did you self publish, or were you able to go the traditional route?
